I figured this would be a good way to share advice on tricks that are bugging us.

Umm there are a TON of threads and even stickies on this already. AND if you are going to post a thread like this in the freestyle section it should be for FREESTYLE trick help which there is already a sticky on at the top of the page entitled "Freestyle Trick Tips" http://www.skaterscafe.com/showthread.php?t=10291 There is also a WHOLE sub forum in the General Skate Topics section entitled Skateboard Trick Help http://www.skaterscafe.com/forumdisplay.php?f=85

Ya, agreed, don't think this thread was really all that needed but I'll still try to help out with your nh 5050 problem.

What really worked for me was first making sure you can do a regular 5050 which I'll just assume you do. Then what really helped me, was that I would find stuff to hold onto and just stand in a NH stance for a long time balancing with whatever I was holding onto. This got me really comfortable in that stance so then I was able to practice doing it without holding onto stuff, and then the rest just comes with practice. And make sure you front foot is high up towards the nose too.

Lean Back More. Literally tripled the time I can hold them.

Just don't go crazy and start doing backflips or anything. Its cool, its just not very productive.

...Nh 50/50 fanflip backflip.

No way that would work, fun though it sounds:icon_snif. But a pogo backflip? Someone should email Mullen and get him on the job.

The trick tip thread is actually for people posting tricktips they made, not asking.

And no freestylers ever go to the trick help section, s oa freestyle help thread there wouldn't get answered.
